FORT LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA – The 5th Annual Dan Marino Foundation WalkAbout Autism & Expo will be an extraordinary day of family fun for the South Florida autism community. Last year nearly 20,000 supporters participated in the WalkAbout to help raise awareness and much needed funds in support of programs for children and young adults living with autism. This event is made possible through the generous support of sponsors, participants, donors and school, corporate and non-profit teams. All proceeds raised stay in the South Florida community.

It’s been a little less than three weeks since the Dolphins played their last game of the 2014 regular season, and their home looks a lot different than it did back on Dec. 28. It also looks nothing like it’s going to look after Phase I of the renovation project at Sun Life Stadium is completed before the start of the 2015 NFL season or after the second and final phase is done in time for the start of the 2016 season.
